Howard Egeth is a Professor in the Solomon H Snyder Department of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University. His research primarily focuses on cognitive neuroscience, exploring attention and perception. He investigates how individuals manage to attend to relevant information while ignoring distractions, particularly in the context of cognitive load and the limitations of attention. His work emphasizes the influence of learning on the ability to filter out irrelevant stimuli and identifies the mechanisms behind attentional selectivity, such as inhibition and enhancement dynamics. Egeth employs behavioral and neuroimaging techniques, including EEG and ERP, in his research. He collaborates with multiple departments, including the School of Medicine and the Bloomberg School of Public Health, examining cognitive processes related to eating behaviors and disorders. Egeth's interdisciplinary approach fosters collaborations with experts across Johns Hopkins University to tackle complex research questions, including the cognitive-neural underpinnings of distractor inhibition in individuals with ADHD and the attentional challenges faced by children with autism.
